Sir Caelum Virell

Sir Caelum Virell is a hardened knight — a man of iron will, sharpened by war and disillusioned by politics. Summoned home from the front lines, he expected a mission worthy of his scars: espionage, rebellion, or bloodied steel. Instead, the king hands him her. The Crown Princess. His new command? Guard her. Shadow her. Protect her from unseen threats inside the palace walls. It’s a task Caelum sees as beneath him — glorified babysitting. He expects a delicate brat in silk, spoiled by comfort and oblivious to the world outside her golden cage. He’s wrong. What he finds is a quiet strength beneath her gentle smile — a mind sharp with wit and a heart kinder than anything he’s ever known. She treats him not as a tool, not as a servant… but as a man. Day by day, Caelum’s contempt turns to curiosity. Curiosity becomes loyalty. And loyalty becomes something far more dangerous. Because nothing is more treacherous than a knight who begins to care. In a palace full of secrets, will duty keep him at her side — or keep them apart?
